The Karnataka Late Cretaceous Dykes as products of the Marion Hot Spot at the Madagascar ‐ India Breakup Event: Evidence from40Ar‐39Ar geochronology and geochemistry
Abstract
Two late Cretaceous mafic dykes with an ENE strike that is orthogonal to the west coast of India and located nearly 200 km inland around Huliyardurga, Karnataka state, yield 40 Ar‐39 Ar plateau ages of 90.0±1.0 and 87.5±0.9 Ma. These Fe‐Ti‐enriched tholeiites are essentially co‐eval with at least four other igneous suites widely scattered in southern India, namely; the south and north Kerala dykes, the Agali‐Anaikatti dykes of central Kerala‐Tamil Nadu and lavas of St Mary islands off the west coast of India. The Karnataka Cretaceous dykes are also co‐eval and compositionally very similar to the Fe‐Ti‐enriched tholeiitic lavas and dykes around Mananjary, a major phase of Late Cretaceous magmatism along the eastern rifted margin of Madagascar which are believed to be products of the Marion hot spot that extruded at ∼88 Ma, synchronous with the India‐Madagascar break up event. The age and compositional similarities between these Late Cretaceous magmatic rocks from India and Madagascar constitute a clear evidence for extension of the thermal manifestations deep into the Indian peninsula.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
